Another Dane with an uncertain future is Philip Zinckernagel. He was loaned by the Club to Bodø/Glimt, but this loan only lasts until the end of December. Then he should return to Bruges. However, he does not yet know if he will still be part of the Club at that time. Many Jupiler Pro League clubs could jump at the chance.
